Speaking at CISCO Live! about sensor networks

Today at 2.45 PM PST we will be speaking at CISCO Live! about sensor networks, and their applications together with Adam Dunkels, and Jean Philippe Vasseur.

Some of the issues that we plan to touch, in the panel session moderated by John Jainschigg are:

• What are sensor networks and what are they used for?
• What is their state of the art today?
• What does ‘The Internet of Things’ mean?
• How do network scale at various levels?

From the panel presentation:
Convergence of micro- and nano-devices, RFID and smart tagging, mobility, HPC, and IPv6 are framing emergence of “the Internet of Things” — a spectacularly fertile field for research and innovation that will in relatively few years, some predict, add 50 to 100 billion endpoints to today’s internet, changing both the architecture of the net and life as we know it.

In this eye-opening panel discussion, you’ll hear from experts in each of the critical core technologies enabling emergence of the Internet of Things: from the micro-operating systems, pseudo-thread architectures and tiny IPv6 stacks powering the next generation of nanodevices; to the wireless and
physical network architectures and protocols connecting them; to the ultra-high-performance data-acquisition and application platforms coordinating their myriad inputs to produce value.

Embedded systems, wireless and other engineers attending this session can expect a concise update on low-level and high-level components for contemporary sensor network solutions. Software architects, insight into the logic of platforms and tools required to wrangle self-organizing distributed networks. And business decision-makers will gain understanding of the bottom line importance of this exploding field to the future of virtually every field of industry and commerce.

The event is free, and to attend you can register directly online.
